MAINTENANCE OF CHILD.
Provision Made in Hunter Estate Case. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON. December 7. Though strongly opposed by Lady Hunter on the grounds that the amounts specified were inadequate and that no provision was made for retrospective payments, the terms of a draft order, consented to by the other parties, making money available for the maintenance of the child, Elizabeth Hunter, were adopted by Mr MacGregor in the Supreme Court today. It was explained that the estate was producing no income. The terms were for a sum not exceeding £3 a wees to be paid out of capital while the girl was living with her mother, and not exceeding £6 a week if the child was sent to a boarding school. It was mentioned that the rise in wool prices might possibly make the estate income-producing, and his Honor said that it seemed to him that as soon as the condition of the estate improved it would be the guardian’s duty to apply for an increased allowance.
